Yea and the cost. Is a 5 speed ever going to be as strong though?

Yeah definitely the cost of a 6 speed is a bummer. I should know on that one xD

 

a 5 speed can be as strong, but it requires pulling it apart, putting what's known as 'blast plates' inside to stiffen the box casings, and then dropping in a stronger gearset from the likes of PPG etc. If you can do that S*** youself, you could have a stronger box than a 6 speed. Downside, if you break one of those, it could well cost you more to fix it than a 6 speed xD

Yea gearsets aren't cheap either, they make the 6 speed swap look worth the coin. Bit to think about I guess. Did you enjoy the difference from the 5 speed?

Yeah it feels great! To be honest though I really did like the feel of the 5 speed, but 6 speed is just something else.

Picked up a set of 195/60R15 Pirelli Cinturato P6s today as part of my 'theme' for my car (90s Subaru WRC inspired, Pirelli were a sponsor) 

 

420 treadware, traction rating A and other rating A, 88V. 

 

I'm not expecting too much in the way of performance but it will be an upgrade.

Nice, tyres are always a good place to spend some coin

Tried to fit the turbo, keeping engine bay clean is a royal pain in the arse when you can only get the turbo on, in a very specific order. Luckily I remembered the exact order on only my 5th attempt. At least it's done now,  the turbo oil drain is a pain in the arse too especially when trying to make a dash 10 hose go on dash 12 fitting.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
